Business Consulting Services (Statewide)

The New York State Office of General Services (OGS) Procurement Services has established a statewide Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for Business Consulting Services, offering comprehensive hourly-based consulting solutions across three primary service categories: Organizational Development, Change Management, and Management & Business Analysis. This contract vehicle enables authorized users, including state agencies, political subdivisions, local governments, public authorities, public schools, and certain nonprofit organizations, to procure professional consulting services through pre-approved vendors. The services encompass a wide range of strategic support, including executive coaching, diversity and inclusion consulting, team development, strategic planning, process improvement, and comprehensive business analysis.

The master IDV (Award #23355) is a services contract administered by the New York State Office of General Services, with a performance period from January 24, 2025, to February 29, 2028. The contract covers the entire State of New York and features multiple prime contractors, including prominent consulting firms such as Accenture LLP, Deloitte Consulting LLP, McKinsey & Company, and Public Consulting Group LLC. The contract type is structured as a services-based agreement with a Not-to-Exceed pricing mechanism, allowing agencies flexibility in procurement. To promote diversity and inclusion, the IDV includes mandatory participation goals of 15% for Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), 15% for Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB).

Under this IDV, multiple contract awards have been executed, with Public Consulting Group LLC receiving a notable award with a cumulative contract value of $28,000,000. The contract awards feature varying maximum hourly rates ranging from $182.00 to $885.00, depending on the consulting firm and service category. Ten contractors have been awarded contracts, each authorized to provide services in one or more of the defined categories. While mini-bids are not mandatory, the OGS recommends seeking quotes from a minimum of three vendors within the relevant service category. The awards are structured to provide authorized users with a competitive and flexible mechanism for procuring high-quality business consulting services tailored to their specific organizational needs.
